 ### Lazy injections
 
-Sometimes you need to make a dependency lazily created.  For any binding `T`, you can create a `Lazy<T>` which defers instantiation until the first call to `Lazy<T>`'s `get()` method. If `T` is a singleton, then `Lazy<T>` will be the same instance for all injections within the ObjectGraph.  Otherwise, each injection site will get its own `Lazy<T>` instance.  Regardless, subsequent calls to any given instance of `Lazy<T>` will return the same underlying instance of `T`.

 Using Dagger in your build
 ==========================
 
-You will need to include the dagger-${dagger.version}.jar in your application's runtime.  In order to activate code generation you will need to include dagger-compiler-${dagger.version}.jar in your build at compile time. 
+You will need to include the `dagger-${dagger.version}.jar` in your application's runtime.  In order to activate code generation you will need to include `dagger-compiler-${dagger.version}.jar` in your build at compile time. 
 
 In a Maven project, one would include the runtime in the dependencies section of your `pom.xml` (replacing ${dagger.version} with the appropriate current release), and the dagger-compiler artifact as a dependency of the compiler plugin:
